Description

This attractive and characterful property inn is set over two storeys with a slate pitched roof. To the left-hand side there is a stone built cellar which links to the rear of the bar.

Over the last three years the roof has been replaced with new, the mains gas boiler replaced and the external envelope has been repaired and decorated.

The spacious and cosy bar and lounge area has with 35 covers is served by a single stone fronted bar. The beer cellar sits directly behind this bar which assists good cellar management.

A function room with bar is situated to the rear of the ground floor has up to 40 covers, and offers a flexible space for events and meetings.

The large well-equipped commercial kitchen includes a separate preparation area and a walk-in cold room. Most of the equipment including the fridge, freezer, 6 burner gas oven, gas chargrill and overhead extraction fan has been replaced recently and is all owned by the business.

The owners have recently refurbished their light and airy private ground floor kitchen/living room which has expansive views over their own secluded garden and the fields and woodlands beyond.

On the second floor there are 4 double bedrooms (one en-suite) and two shower rooms.
